The Hughes Fire is an active wildfire burning in Los Angeles County in Southern California. So far, the fire has burned over 10,000 acres (4,000 hectares).[3] The fire began near Lake Hughes Road near Castaic Lake and its cause is under investigation.[1][4] It has prompted evacuation orders in the region around Castaic Lake.[5]

Due to the high Santa Ana winds in the area, the fire exploded to 5,000 acres just an hour after it started,[4] and ballooned to 10,176 acres by the end of the day.[6]
